## What is Moneta?

Moneta helps you answer one question fast: how much can I still spend?

Set your Monthly Allowance, give each category a budget, and log expenses as they happen. Moneta updates your remaining balance instantly so you always know what is left for groceries, transport, dining, shopping, and more.

WHY PEOPLE USE MONETA

Most finance apps try to do too much - bank sync, complicated dashboards, and setup that feels like homework. Moneta stays focused. It is built for people who want a simple expense tracker and budget app they can actually keep using.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- Set your Monthly Allowance and see what is left to allocate
- Create category budgets for bills and daily spending
- Separate fixed costs from flexible spending
- Log expenses in seconds with optional notes
- Check your remaining balance by category anytime
- Review past months to spot patterns and progress
- Track money people owe you, including reimbursements and split bills
- Keep your data on device, or sign in to sync across devices
- Export a backup whenever you want

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

Use Moneta as a focused expense tracker, a simple envelope budget, or a lightweight monthly planner. Open the app, check what is left, and log spending before it gets away from you.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

No account is required to get started. Stay local in Guest mode, or sign in with Apple or Google when you want cloud sync.

If you want a budgeting app that feels clear, fast, and intentional, Moneta is built for that.
